Good day. This chapter is a bit of an introduction, including the history behind the fictional "Sanders manor". It is a made-up place, and there is no intended relevance to any other haunted house, real or fictional.
The manor was established in 1889 by a wealthy Baron Richard Sanders. He and his wife, Cassidy, moved into the house just after their honeymoon. Mr. Sanders owned a very successful mining company that branched from California to Washington state. In 1892, their daughter was born Karisma Sanders. Her appearance she took from her mother: she was thin and pale, with jet-black hair and bright blue eyes. Richard passed away shortly after his daughter's 13th birthday.
For two more years, Cassidy and Karisma lived alone in the manor. One night, just before Karisma's 15th birthday, a burglar broke into the home. Karisma awoke, and was found and killed by the intruder. Her mother died shortly after this incident. For many years, no-one lived in the house except for the groundskeeper. On several occasions he claimed to have heard and seen "paranormal happenings" around the house, including scratching and writing on the walls.
The groundskeeper died in 1922 of "natural causes". Legend says that the ghost of Karisma Sanders is what murdered him. People believe that ever since she was murdered by the burglar, the teenage girl had vowed to stick around and kill anyone who entered the house.
